Inside Jersey readers pick their own best of the shore

Inside Jersey began asking readers to think about the Jersey Shore back when we were freezing our Strombolis off in January. Who wasn’t dreaming this long, cold snowy winter of sitting on the boardwalk with a couple of slices and a cold adult beverage as the sun set on another great beach day?

For the past five months, IJ readers have been telling us about their favorite places at the Jersey Shore. And from the looks of it, they won’t be running into The Star-Ledger’s Peter Genovese anytime soon. Pete’s picks and the readers’ picks aren’t even in the same ZIP codes, except for the boardwalk category, where pretty much everyone agrees Wildwood has the biggest and the best.

So here are Inside Jersey readers’ selections of the best of the Jersey Shore.
